Some type of BASIC came first along with Batch (if it counts) and later Visual Basic. All sorts of easy things that I fully advocate for as first languages in education. The next step for me was C/C++ and various different languages that are more learning examples than anything now like COBOL and Pascal. And then for school, I picked up Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and a smattering of ARM Assembler.

I use a lot of languages for school, but outside of that, depending on the research I’m doing, projects I’m working on, and other things, it varies between C++ (which I use for analytics and research stuff) and Python (which is much nicer for automation and interacting with distributed computing). Bash finds itself very close behind them for automation when I’m being too lazy to write Python.

I feel that. I switched from a GTX era GPU to a 7800XT as well recently. It’s night and day how many generic glitches and program limitations I don’t have to deal with anymore.

Everyday there are more things that fail to separate Windows from its past versions in functionality, but detriment the usability of all the versions to come. Microsoft is changing arbitrary things like this (let’s face it, there aren’t many people truly effected by not having WordPad) just for the sake of changing, not for any foreseeable benefit.

As a LibreOffice, OpenOffice, MS Office 2000, and unfortunately Google Suite user, I’ve seen that there are many effective replacements, so I don’t see this impacting anyone too severely. It’s just stupid.

This is a cool technology, making the assumption that it’s real, but due to cost and scaling limitations, I doubt we’ll see it outside of specialized use cases any time soon. For expensive use cases that have unique cases for it, it might prove interesting.

This seems like a really awesome project.

My preferences aren’t super strong, but I like Xfce because of its lightweightness and customizability. Prior to Xfce, I used Gnome…which is neither of those but still fine.

Usually, I name it quite literally, or whatever my superior has already planned to name it. If I’m working on a team, I cede to someone else. If I can’t think of a name, it gets a ambiguous name and a date. This goes for my programming projects and not programming projects alike.

I’m 99% sure everything for me can be traced back to Blinx: The Time Sweeper, an old Xbox exclusive with anthro cats and pigs. Really awesome game, and to this day, I think it was a gem of mechanics and dynamics that it’s a pity never became something more. That would’ve started in around '06. I was 3-4.

I didn’t know the concept of furry until '16 or so, when I would’ve been 13-14. I had a fascination with fur and animal stuff, and a younger friend (he was like 12) said something like “Oh, so you’re a furry?” A few googles later…I was like GOD NO. Came back by early-2017, with a more careful Google and an open mind, and yeah, I was. Joined a furry forum in mid-2017, and the rest is history. Seen a lot of stuff in my time here, but unfortunately, I arrived too late to see a lot of the furry community that used to exist in my local area. Just a few years too young to have caught RCFM.

Hello! I’m Bluefox. I’m mostly a C/C++ programmer, but dabble in Java because school makes me. I also have an interest in COBOL, Pascal, and Fortran, but haven’t had the time to study them. Been attempting to code or fiddle with code at least since I was 8 or 9, and now I study it. Hoping to do research work with programming in the future.
